Jme, born Jamie Adenuga, is a British grime MC and producer who founded the record label and collective Boy Better Know (BBK). He is the younger brother of rapper Skepta (Joseph Adenuga) and has been a central figure in the London grime scene since the mid-2000s.

Raised in London, Jme began releasing music during the rise of grime and quickly established BBK as a leading independent platform for artists in the genre. As a performer and producer, he helped shape the sound and work ethic of modern grime, emphasizing self-reliance and collaboration among artists.

His music is marked by rapid-fire delivery, sharp wordplay, and a mix of aggressive, street-oriented themes with humor. He has released material both as part of BBK and as a solo artist, and he has worked with a wide range of artists in the UK and beyond, helping to bring grime to a wider audience.

Jme is known for a DIY approach to music—producing many of his tracks and distributing them through BBK’s channels and online platforms. His role as a producer and mentor within BBK has contributed to the collective’s ability to launch and sustain multiple careers in grime.

Overall, Jme’s impact on grime has been substantial, helping to shape its direction in the 2010s and solidifying BBK as a major force in the genre.
